And, of course men know best about everything, except what women know better. 

— George Eliot, Middlemarch

Middlemarch is one of those books that's been on my list forever and that I'm only now finally getting to. So far it has all the makings of the sort of book I would enjoy - provincial life, gossip, meddling neighbours, beautiful language, a healthy dose of feminism, an examination of the meaning within a mundane life.

Please join me in what will hopefully be a very enjoyable if not informative read. If you have any thoughts you would like to share, please comment on my Middlemarch blog post.
